Selfish And Dumb For Your Love

Charlotte Day Wilson “Doubt”

“Doubt” has a very restrained and controlled sound, which supports its lyrical sentiment about trying to stop yourself from giving in to your worst romantic impulses for your own good. “I’m done with doubt, I’m done with your game,” Wilson sings at the top of the song, and the slow, steady bass groove underlines her resolve. But given the lush, sexy sound of the track, it’s pretty clear that she knows from the get-go that she can resist the gravitational pull of this person she’s addressing. The key line here is in the chorus – “I’m selfish and dumb for your love.” A fool for love, sure, but selfish…well, that’s intriguing. Selfish to want it? Selfish to need it? Selfish to have these inconvenient feelings in the first place?
